          Giving at Menlo

           

          Menlo is fortunate to have talented students, dedicated and experienced faculty, and robust academics, arts, and athletics programs.

          The generous support of our entire community helps make this all possible. Supporting Menlo can mean a variety of things. Your time as a volunteer, your involvement in classes or on the athletic fields, and your financial contributions all make a difference and help us provide the best experience for every member of our community.

          We hope that each and every member of the Menlo community—parents, alumni, faculty, staff, grandparents, students, and friends—will make giving to Menlo a philanthropic priority and support one or more of the following areas.

          Auction 

          The annual auction is our most important fundraising event: 100% of auction proceeds benefit Financial Aid for Menlo School to help support our need-blind admission policy. Volunteering on the auction committee is also a great way to get involved with the school and connect with other parents.
